Few areas of science capture the imagination of students of all ages as much as space. The moon, planets, and other heavenly bodies are fascinating and offer exploration opportunities to those brave enough to conquer the mysteries of space. While few people get to take actual trips to space, students can explore space through a mock space shuttle flight. Students will role-play the jobs of real space shuttle astronauts, conduct experiments, and research space using the Internet and offline experiments. At the conclusion of their shuttle trip, student-astronauts will hold a "press conference" to share their information with others. The students will form space shuttle crews of three students each. Each crew will consist of three astronauts: the pilot, science specialist, and shuttle technical specialist. Each member of the crew will have specific roles they must follow. These include finding locations in space and on earth, tracking weather on earth, and conducting experiments in space. At the conclusion of each mission, the students must create a multimedia presentation to share during a mock press conference.
